• Article's a minor mess. Seems to be more like a tourist brochure than an encyclopedia article. [[User:AmarChandra|Amar | Talk]] 06:15, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)

Lucknow, a village in the township of Huron-Kinloss in Huron County, Ontario, Canada (Population 1100) was named after the town in India where, in 1857, a vicious battle took place between the besieging native rebels and the British army. Horrendous tales of the Indian Mutiny, as it was called, reached even the Canadian wilderness. "Sepoy" on the town's welcome sign is a reference to the Indian foot soldiers who fought on the British side in the Relief of Lucknow. The "Drive Canny" addendum on the sign is demonstrative of the Scottish ancestry of it's founding people.

[edit] Lists

Some sections of the webpage are really long, should the be moved to some separate page or a list, for example List of educational institutes in Lucknow and List of companies in Lucknow on the lines of other metro city pages in India 152.66.37.76 14:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree too, the article is getting crowded and we could move some information to Lists. IrfanAli 14:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copy-editing

I have copy-edited this article substantially, and I plan to remove the copy-edit notice as well. I have tried not to change any of the content, since I am not from Lucknow, and am not aware of much about Lucknow either. --ashwatha 09:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
